Disclaimer: I don't own Glee, nor do I completely own Nick and Jeff (although I'm pretty much creating their personalities myself since we haven't gotten to know them too well on the show).
A/n: This is another one of those difficult words, because I was having a ridiculously difficult time deciding what to do with a Zucchini…
Zucchini
Jeff really wasn't sure what was better – the fact that he got to live with his boyfriend all the time at college, or the fact that his boyfriend could cook. And Nick was a really good cook. The problem, of course, was always a matter of timing. Their class schedules made it difficult for Nick to have time to actually make much of anything unless Jeff got started on it during his break in the middle of the afternoon. So it really wasn't all that unusual for Jeff to come home to a note asking him to do some kind of small task to start their dinner.
Hey Jeff,
Making ratatouille – can you cut everything up for me during your break?
Love you!
Jeff smiled, dropping his backpack onto the couch and wandering into the kitchen, glancing over the recipe and digging through the vegetables in the fridge to find what he needed for their dinner. He hurriedly chopped them up, throwing everything into the appropriate containers based on when they were supposed to be cooked in the recipe. The hard part was when he got to the zucchini. Jeff had two different green, tubular vegetables; he knew that one was a cucumber and the other was zucchini, but he had no idea which one was which.
Nick was already tired when he got home from class, but he'd promised Jeff that he would make dinner and he was going to keep up his end of the bargain. He was a little surprised to see that there was a note from Jeff.
Dude… what's the difference between a cucumber and zucchini?
